Couldn&#39;t figure it out when it was cooking in liquid all day. Then my chef bro-in-law told me it was b/c I was using boneless. The bone is what keeps the meat moist from the inside. <br /><br />Now any meat I cook in the crockpot I use bone-in as much as possible, even if it means Ruthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10979239344103890121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-44069942152834696702013-01-08T16:57:10.858-08:002013-01-08T16:57:10.858-08:00I just made this tonight.

It was quite sticky, and I needed to add more water, but it was still good. It definitely needed salt. I added buffalo sauce and it was perfect! Everyone ate it. I&#39;ll have to watch the cooking time better next time, and there will be a next time. Thank you!

Love that I found your site (referred by a friend when I shouted on Facebook that I am tired of making all the same things and does anyone have bright ideas for Crockpots).

So, i decided to do it on a day when i could be at home and keep an eye on it. I stuck to the recipe for the most part, did the roux and everything. I got great results using a whisk to mix the roux, so that&#39;s different from just stirring it. I also used about 2 cups of rice, instead of the 1 1/2.
